Question

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* #return void
*/
public function run()

DB::table('users')->insert([
'name' => Str::random(10),
'email' => Str::random(10).'#example.com',
'password' => Hash::make('password'),

Answer 1

I think you are missing the below line
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
The complete code look like
namespace Database\Seeders;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeders.
*
* #return void
*/
public function run()
{
DB::table('users')->insert([
'name' => Str::random(10),
'email' => Str::random(10).'#gmail.com',
'password' => Hash::make('password'),
]);
}
}

Try something like this using eloquent instead of the DB class with an existence check too:
<?php
namespace Database\Seeders;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
class UsersTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* #return void
*/
public function run()
{
// Seed test user 1
$seededAdminEmail = 'admin#admin.com';
$user = User::where('email', '=', $seededAdminEmail)->first();
if ($user === null) {
$user = User::create([
'name' => 'Admin',
'email' => $seededAdminEmail,
'password' => Hash::make('password'),
]);
}
// Seed test user 2
$user = User::where('email', '=', 'user#user.com')->first();
if ($user === null) {
$user = User::create([
'name' => 'User',
'email' => 'user#user.com',
'password' => Hash::make('password'),
]);
}
}
}
